The Elizabeth City Micropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the United States Census Bureau, is an area consisting of one county in the Inner Banks region of eastern North Carolina, anchored by the area of Elizabeth City.

As of 2024, the Micropolitan Statistical Area had a population of 41,418, down from the 2010 census count of 64,094, due to the removal of Perquimans and Camden counties from the area. Camden County was moved to the Virginia Beach-Norfolk MSA, whereas Perquimans County was removed entirely.
